Since joining the Foundation as a 2027 Associate, the opportunity that was presented to me to get a real insight into the UK voluntary sector in general and grant making in particular was remarkable. I am so proud to be a member of the grant making team and play my part in the drive to better support and develop the capacity of small charities to address the issue of social injustice. I hope to further progress my career in the sector, and I feel I am at the right place.

We’re committed to supporting everyone working with us to achieve their full potential no matter their background. That’s why we have made a number of commitments to improve our recruitment process and beyond, ensuring staff feel included, supported and able to thrive in a workplace that supports health, wellbeing and respects and celebrates diversity.
We have Disability Confident employer status (Level 2) under the Government’s Disability Confident employer scheme. This guarantees an interview to disabled people who apply to work with us and who meet the essential recruitment criteria. We’re working towards achieving full status. Our goal is to get to full status by 2027.
Read more about the Disability Confident employer scheme.
If you are interested in applying for a role with us, you will need to submit your application through our online jobs portal. When you do so, you’ll be asked to upload your CV and answer a few questions on how you meet the essential criteria listed in the job description.
As a Disability Confident employer, we will invite Disabled applicants to an interview if your CV and answers to the application questions clearly show and evidence how you meet the essential criteria for the role.
There may be some occasions where we can’t offer an interview to everyone, for example, when we receive a high volume of applications. To better manage everyone’s time and expectations, we limit the interviews we have to a manageable number for the panel involved. If we need to do this when receiving a large volume of applications from people that meet the essential criteria, we consider applications against desirable criteria as well.
One of our commitments is to make adjustments to support people during the recruitment process and if successful their employment with us too.
Support during the interview process is personalised to you as we know that one size does not fit all. In the past we have provided note takers during interviews, printed interview questions shared in advance, additional time given for assessments, allowing candidates to use specific accessibility software.
We encourage you to get in touch with us if you'd like to talk through adjustments that will help you have the best chance during your interview.
Once you start working with us you will have conversations with your line manager and our HR team to understand how you can thrive at work. We’ll also carry out workplace assessments to understand your individual needs. Examples of the kind of support we’ve made available to staff include sit-stand chairs, noise cancelling headphones, automated transcription service for video calls and closed captioning, adapted phones to meet accessibility needs, workplace coaching, flexible working arrangements and more.
If you require any adjustments for any part of the recruitment process, then please contact the Human Resources department on recruitment@lloydsbankfoundation.org.uk who will be able to help you further.
